Date ‘Oct. 1986’, print title ‘後’ (pronounced ‘ato’ and translating into ‘back’ or ‘after’), and artist signature ‘D. Bull’ in black pencil in bottom margin of the print.
Dave generously gave me this print as a present on the same day that we visited his house in Ome in 2017, as described on this page of my website. In his own words: “It’s one of my first original woodblock prints!”
